A few days before we left Zambia the women of Clothed in Hope set up a shop for us to purchase some of the items they have made. You can purchase their products and support the women at their on-line shop.
The scarf and clutch I bought both happened to be made by my friend Bridget. Now whenever I use these I will think of her, see her face, and laugh at our fun times together- how cool!
Our last day at the center was filled with singing and dancing...
...and many goodbyes and pictures.
I will miss these women. I so enjoyed getting to hear about their lives, sharing in many moments of laughter, and learning about the Lord through them. I was honored to be a part of their lives for just a little while and to teach them just a little bit of what I know.
It has been a week and a half since I left Zambia. I have adjusted to home and life back in the states, but I daily think of the people I met and the experiences I had. I am so blessed to have gotten to serve the Lord this way and am forever thankful for the many people who made this trip possible. Each of you who contributed monetarily and prayed for myself and the team- you made this whole thing possible!
